Top 10 reasons to visit Strandhill Christmas Markets this year

If you’re yet to start your Christmas shopping and as usual find yourself scratching your head in search of presents, look no further than the Strandhill People’s Market.

Boasting over 40 stalls each Friday night from 6pm-10pm and a massive 75 stalls every Sunday from 11-4pm, SPM is now one of the most impressive markets in Ireland. The weekly event has already attracted thousands of punters to the village and this weekend is your last chance to catch the markets before they close for Christmas and January.

The market is the perfect place to meet a friend for a coffee, listen to live local music, sip on a mulled wine and shop till you drop! The best part is, by visiting you will be supporting local traders helping to create employment and boost the local economy at this important time of the year.

Here’s a few small reasons to visit SPM this weekend. (As if you needed any!)

1. Amazing food

As soon as you hit Hangar 1 you can smell the irresistible foods on offer. SPM has a range of quality food stalls to cater for every taste. Fresh sushi, noodles, hot miso soup, hot pots, paella, Vegan salads, stews and much more.

2. Christmas Trees for sale

If you’re yet to put your Christmas tree up then now is the time. Christmas trees will be for sale this Friday and Sunday night at SPM just outside Hangar 1.

3. Santa Claus

The big man in red arrives in the airport terminal building this Friday and Sunday. The Santa’s grotto is all in aid of ‘This Ability’ and has purpose-built areas for children with special needs.
